Chapter 15 Blessings and Misfortunes 1
The next day, Gu Yuecong woke up late, and there were already two servants, one of whom brought hot water, and the other took a face towel into the house to wait for Gu Yuecong to wash his face and rinse his mouth. www.biquge.infoButler Zhong was obviously guarding the door for a long time, seeing Gu Yuecong wake up, he hurriedly instructed the servants to send the prepared breakfast to the hall, Steward Zhong pushed open the door, and saw Bai Miaofeng sleeping on the chair, and hurriedly retreated quietly, who knew that Bai Miaofeng had been awakened and said, "Steward Zhong is here, please come in." ”
Steward Zhong put the plate away, glanced at Bai Miaofeng, seemed to want to say something, but didn't know where to start. Bai Miaofeng said: "Steward Zhong, when Brother Qi leaves, what do you have to explain?"
Steward Zhong felt a pain in his heart, took a deep breath, and said for a long time: "When the general left, he didn't even bring a warm coat or half a silver ingot, so he said, 'I'll go back to my hometown, you can take care of your home.'" The people in the palace were crying and crying, and he told us truthfully, and then he went out, and when he walked out of the door, he still turned around and said to the old slave, 'Old Zhong, you old bones must live, don't let this heroic palace fall into the wilderness.' At this point, tears were streaming down his cheeks.
Bai Miaofeng lowered his head and sighed: "Brother Qi used to say that he would rather die on the battlefield than die of illness on the couch, no one expected that he would suddenly return to his hometown. We are all people who are close to the age of sixties, and this time we are wide, I don't know if there will be a chance to drink with him. ”
Steward Zhong cried and said: "By the next month, the old slave will serve the general, it will be thirty-seven years......" After a moment of silence, his eyes went straight to the door and muttered: "I don't know if the general has found his relatives, and the food in his hometown can still be eaten......"
At this moment, Gu Yuecong walked into the hall, and Steward Zhong was busy wiping his cheeks and said, "My lord, breakfast is ready." Do you want to invite the hostess to eat together?" It turned out that Steward Zhong saw that Long'er was menacing, and he was very close to Gu Yuecong and Bai Miaofeng, but he didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a night of hard thinking, he guessed that she was not an ordinary maidservant, and he asked like this, obviously to reassure Gu Yuecong.
Without waiting for Gu Yue Cong to answer, Bai Miaofeng said: "Cong'er, I am old friends with Steward Zhong. ”
Gu Yuecong said: "There is a housekeeper of Lao Zhong." Steward Zhong was very happy, answered, and hurried away.
Gu Yuecong and Bai Miao Fengfang had just raised their chopsticks, and suddenly saw Steward Zhong hurriedly running with a letter in his hand, and said, "Lord Gu, it's not good, the hostess ran away from home." ”
Gu Yuecong and Bai Miaofeng both jumped up, Gu Yuecong took the letter, opened the envelope, and saw that it was written: "Brother Gu, I will go to Daddy Qiao's mansion to catch up with Sister Shuiyue, and return to the evening." After the word "Hui", a big smiling face was drawn.
Gu Yuecong handed the letter to Bai Miaofeng and asked, "Steward Zhong, do you know when she left the Yingwu Palace?"
Steward Zhong was full of self-reproach and said, "The old slave deserves to die, and the old slave doesn't know...... The old slave went to ask the slave who was guarding the door. He turned around and left.
Gu Yuecong turned around the hall twice, and said to himself: "Long'er is a wanted criminal, she is bound to be more and less lucky when she comes out of this palace, and I am afraid that she has been caught by the people of the Internal Affairs Office at this moment." Speaking of this, he suddenly said, "No, I'm going to go out to find her." He was about to go out, and when he took two steps, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask where the "Daddy Qiao" mansion was, and asked Bai Miaofeng: "Who is this Daddy Qiao?
Bai Miaofeng said: "Mrs. Qiao's servant is in charge of the animal husbandry of the official government, and the official residence is from the third grade, he is the father of the lord of Shuiyue, the best friend of the prince, and the father-in-law of Long'er." From here, go out of the palace to the west of Balixu, which is where Qiao's mansion is located. After a pause, he said, "I'll go with you." The two of them went out of the door, and saw Steward Zhong coming in in a panic, and said, "My lord, Grandpa Liu is here." ”
Gu Yue Cong frowned and said, "What is he doing at this time, tell him that I am not there." He glanced at the courtyard wall and said, "Let's go over the wall." ”
Bai Miaofeng grabbed him and said, "This person is extremely suspicious, if you say that you are not there, he will be suspicious." After a pause, he continued, "Leave this matter to me." ”
Gu Yue Cong said: "It's ......"
Bai Miaofeng interrupted: "It's useless to have a lot of people in this matter, with my light skills, it is not difficult to get to Qiao's Mansion, in case it is caught, I will say that it is on your orders, and they dare not do anything." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring the county lord back safely." ”
Gu Yuecong couldn't do it, and said, "Without further ado, please ask Uncle Bai to go immediately." Bai Miaofeng nodded, didn't go to the main gate, and disappeared over the courtyard wall. Gu Yuecong returned to the hall and waited sullenly for Liu Leiao.
It turned out that Ouyang Long'er slept in the slave room at night, the wing room was originally inhabited by a male servant, although after some cleaning, there was still an indescribable pungent smell in the house, she was lying on the couch, was drowsy by the stench, who knew that there was a thunderous snoring sound in the left and right rooms, the more she listened, the more difficult it was to sleep, and after thinking about it on the couch for a while, she was not sleepy at all, so she simply sat up. Quietly looked at the moon for a while, there was always the figure of Gu Yuecong in her mind, she also knew that although she was still angry with Gu Yuecong, this matter would eventually pass, Mo said that Gu Yuecong did not do anything to be sorry for herself, even if she did, she would work hard and never flinch. The silver glow is all over the ground, the wind and the moon are clear outside the window, and I think that one day I can wander the northwest with Gu Yuecong, herding horses and Helan, I can't help but yearn for it. Thinking of the northwest, he naturally thought of Shui Yuelai, and said secretly: "Sister Shui Yue has a deep affection for Zhu Tianhao, but Zhu Tianhao, this kid, is not doing his job all day long, and his heart is not on Shui Yue, compared with her, I am much luckier." Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and continued: "Zhu Tianhao has returned to Beijing, I should have told Shui Yue this information earlier, so that she would be happy, yes, how should I think of a way to match the two, if it is soft, it will be hard." As soon as I thought of matching the two, I couldn't hold it back, pushed open the door and came to the kitchen, took out a handful of ash from the bottom of the pot and smeared my face, changed the men's clothes worn at night, and was about to leave the house, and suddenly said: "Brother Gu didn't see me, I would definitely think that Liu Gelding sent someone to quietly enter the house, tied me up with a five-flower tie, stuffed me into a black hemp bag and carried it away, he will definitely find Liu Gelding to ask for someone, once Liu Gelding Dog learns that I am back in Beijing, he will inevitably send someone to search for the whole city, so that I and my father will be together in the future." Then he went back to the bedroom, took a pen and waved it, hurriedly wrote a letter, and pressed it on the table with an inkstone, and then went out.
Fortunately, before dawn rose, Ouyang Long'er deceived the guards of the Yingwu Palace, saying that Master Gu had something important to do by himself, and the two gatekeepers had seen her and Gu Yuecong enter and leave the Yingwu Hall together, and they did not dare to stop them. Although Ouyang Long'er is very familiar with the palace, and also knows the current situation, it is not easy to swagger out of the palace. The imperial dining room is not far from the Yingwu Palace, and it was lucky to avoid the eyes of the eunuchs and guards along the way. When he arrived at the door of the imperial dining room, he met the people of "Shanglin Yuan" who walked by with a car transporting vegetables, vegetables and meat from outside, Ouyang Long'er swaggered forward, and did not say hello, only picked left and right, and looked at the people who delivered the dishes with a blank face, Ouyang Long'er smiled and said that the emperor has always had a stomach trouble recently, so he sent her to check whether the ingredients are clean. When everyone saw that she was from the palace, and her face was ashes, they just said that when she came out of the imperial dining room, she couldn't help but curry favor. Ouyang Long'er was very easy-going this time, and when he came and went, he called everyone brother and sister, and mingled. When they arrived at the imperial dining room, the people from the Internal Affairs Office saw that she was very familiar with the rest of the people, and he only said that he was a farmer who delivered vegetables, and he was not suspicious, Ouyang Long'er helped to move the ingredients from the car and came out with him. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, the people in Shanglin Yuan were really up, but they didn't dare to ask more, Ouyang Long'er said: "The emperor ordered me to go to 'Shanglin Garden' to take a look at the vegetables and poultry in the garden, brothers can rest assured, this official and you are like old friends at first sight, like brothers, I went to Shanglin Yuan today just to go through the motions, that's all." Everyone was surprised and delighted, and one of them walked up to her, bowed his waist while retreating, and said: "Thank you for your cultivation, your subordinates will never let your adult return disappointed, and please say a few kind words in front of the emperor." "Everyone thinks that people are used to bribing the internal affairs office on weekdays, and they know that this time it will inevitably cost a lot of money, but as long as they can get along peacefully, spending money is a trivial matter.
